Jesus brought a change of society as he broke down the wall that divided the Gentiles from the Jews. Jesus brought the two together into the household of God.

Jesus is our peace. In Him, all Christians should come together and work together to break down the walls which separate people and cause hostility.

Quotes from the sermon (or close paraphrases) follow:
What is the main characteristic that determines who we are?
When we come to Christ, the governing aspect of who we are becomes the blood of Christ. It does not matter what you were. It is who you now are in Jesus that shapes everything you do. That is the defining characteristic that shapes who you are.

When we come to Christ, what is the dominant aspect of who you are? It is not your gender; it is not your race; it is not your ethnicity; it is not your education; it is not how much money you make; it is not your how sick or well you are. The dominant characteristic that shapes who you are is the blood of Jesus Christ.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22
